it with Netscape Mail 2.0 that I will run on Solaris? I am looking for a
turnkey package that can do the job. thanks...

What is it with your NewsReader, why is there a HTML version of what you
wrote attached to your post? BTW, it is only viewable with a download in
PINE, very annoying.

Is this one of those MicroSoft foulups, again?

Take care,

	You can use procmail to filter incoming mail regardless of what
client SW you use.  The only thing you have to worry about is if your
client SW can access the folders which were created as part of the
filtering process.  For example, if you were to use Netscape on a PC
and filtered incoming mail with procmail the Netscape on the PC has
no way to access the folders created by procmail.

	Regards,

procmail runs on Slowaris and allows to filter *any* incoming mail.
It's particularly good on deleting mails with Content-Type: text/html ...
